I recently bought a new Netgear N150 DSL Modem/Router. I connected and set it up with my laptop (HP DV9715 w/Vista Home Premium SP2 AMD Turion 64x2 TL-60 2GB Ram NVIDIA Gforce 7150/nforce 630m). I have a direct-connected PC that gets on the internet. We also have two remote PCs that connect and a Windows 7 laptop that connects. The only problem is that my Vista laptop will not recognize the router by wifi. I called Netgear support and was told that it was a problem with Vista. Is it? If so, is there a solution?

Jump to PostHi
Broadcast your WiFi connection SSID , this can be changed in your router setup,this solved a similar problem for me
Jump to PostHi did you try it?it is not changing the network name it is broadcasting it rather than keeping it hidden,which is strictly speaking more secure.
